One of the most exciting aspects of the Farmers’ Almanac during recent years is the ongoing development of Farmers’ Almanac Television. The book has been in existence since 1818, but in the last three years Farmers’ Almanac –the TV show–has come to life on local public television stations (90% of US homes).
A third season has been produced and will find its way into your home this winter. Sandi and I had an enriching visit with the TV folks last week and are encouraged with the way topics only found in the Farmers’ Almanac are now expanded on TV. The quality of each show is what makes Farmers’ Almanac TV such excellent programming – the show makes television once again good to watch.
If you have never seen Farmers’ Almanac TV, check your local TV Guide, or go to our home page, and enter your zip code for time and station. And, if you have missed programs, there are hundreds of short videos from some of the shows you can views right here online. (Go to the video and TV link (http://www.farmersalmanac.com/video/) and you’ll be able to watch an array of fabulous video (entertaining and educating) on everything from fall foliage to weather lore to recipes.
Tell us what you think of the show and of the Almanac. We are always looking for ways to add to our Farmers’ Almanac content. Leave me a note here or feel free to email me direct at pgegier@farmersalmanac.com

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
